I Built an App to Fix My Relationship with Coffee & Sleep

It’s 10:30 PM on a late flight out of Frankfurt. My eyes are wide open, staring at the dark cabin ceiling. The culprit? The double espresso that had felt so crucial just a few hours ago. Coffee has betrayed me again. This constant struggle between enjoying coffee and reclaiming my sleep is exactly why I built Mindful Coffee.

It’s 10:30 PM, and I’m on a late flight out of Frankfurt. My eyes are wide open, staring at the dark cabin ceiling. The culprit? The double espresso that had felt so crucial just a few hours ago. Coffee has betrayed me again.

Sound familiar? If you’re like me, coffee is essential—not just a morning ritual, but a productivity booster, a creative muse, and yes, a simple pleasure. But there’s a flip side: sleepless nights, jittery afternoons, and a constant guessing game: “Did I have one espresso too many?”

I decided enough was enough. I didn’t want to give up coffee; I wanted clarity. How could I keep the joy of coffee without paying the nightly price?

Enter Mindful Coffee

This frustration sparked a personal project. As a technologist, data scientist, and coffee enthusiast, I started asking myself: what if there was a way to scientifically manage caffeine intake?

That’s how Mindful Coffee was born—an iOS app designed to remove caffeine guesswork, enabling mindful enjoyment of your coffee without compromising your sleep.

Who will benefit from this app?

  • Coffee Lovers who want to enjoy their favorite drink without sleepless nights.
  • Productivity Seekers aiming to optimize their energy and focus.
  • Health-Conscious Individuals interested in understanding how their diet affects their body and sleep.

Clarity Instead of Guesswork: The Core Features

Mindful Coffee lets you effortlessly log your caffeinated drinks and immediately gives you an estimate of when you’ll be ready for sleep. It eliminates the mental math (“Did that cappuccino push bedtime past midnight?”) and replaces it with clarity, simplicity, and confidence.

I’ve also included a „What-If“ feature—your caffeine crystal ball. Wondering about another latte at 4 PM? Mindful Coffee shows exactly how it’ll affect your bedtime tonight.

The first, labeled "Caffeine in body," shows a value of 77 mg. The second, labeled "Total caffeine today," shows a value of 189 mg. The third, labeled "Ready for sleep," shows a time of 0:24 (Tomorrow), indicating the user will be ready for sleep in 24 minutes after midnight.

Love coffee but hate the jitters and restless nights? You’re not alone! For years, I struggled to balance my caffeine cravings with getting good sleep. That’s why I built Mindful Coffee, and I’m excited to announce it’s finally live on the App Store!

Let me share a bit of the story behind it.

My Journey to Mindful Mornings

Like many of you, coffee has been a constant companion throughout my career, especially during intense periods like writing my first book, ‚Visual Analytics with Tableau‚. But while caffeine fueled my days, I started noticing a pattern: late afternoon coffees often led to restless nights. Lying awake, I wondered, „How much caffeine am I really drinking, and what’s it doing to my sleep?“ That question became the seed for Mindful Coffee.

The „Aha!“ Moment: Understanding the Caffeine-Sleep Connection

It was during one particularly frustrating sleepless night – after yet another delicious Seattle latte in the afternoon – that the ‚aha!‘ moment hit me. I was tired of feeling wired during the day and then exhausted and restless at night. I knew I wasn’t the only one struggling with this caffeine balancing act. „What if,“ I thought, „there was an app that could actually show you, in real-time, how your coffee habits were affecting your sleep?“ That’s how the idea for Mindful Coffee was born: an app to not just track caffeine, but to finally understand its impact.

The screens shown include the caffeine analysis graph displaying energy levels, the drink logging interface with options for customizing caffeine amounts for beverages like espresso and cappuccino, a screen for adjusting caffeine levels and setting drink times, and a summary screen visualizing caffeine and sleep correlation data, categorized by caffeine intake levels such as „Little caffeine“ and „Plenty of caffeine“. Mindful Coffee helps users understand their caffeine habits and improve their sleep quality through data-driven insights.

My Sleep Transformed – And Yours Can Too

Honestly, using Mindful Coffee myself was a revelation. Within days, I wasn’t just tracking caffeine, I was understanding it. I started making small adjustments – skipping that late afternoon espresso, switching to herbal tea – and the impact on my sleep was incredible. I woke up feeling more rested, had more consistent energy throughout the day, and finally felt like I was in control of my caffeine, instead of the other way around. It truly changed my habits, and I’m excited for it to do the same for you.
